i absolutely loved this vrbo! it was soooo cozy, clean, and functional. it has a beautiful view, a perfect location, and lots of space. i feel like this really is a hidden gem due to its location halfway between the west and east side of Glacier National Park. it has a full kitchen which is a huge plus, so we were able to make some food to bring with us rather than buying food out constantly. i would 100% stay here again! the hosts were also extremely kind and communicative :)

Glacier Carriage House

This was the perfect getaway for our 40th anniversary trip. Equal distance between west and east entrance so we explored both sides. Roz met us upon arrival - property was clean - instructions were easy to get there - just an excellent trip.

Perfect spot for a stay while at Glacier National

Wonderful, comfortable and cozy accommodations that were extremely clean. When returning to Glacier National, we’d certainly stay here again. It was safest we ever felt, with the possibility of bears being in the vicinity. Jack & Barb

Nice place.

Clean, beautiful construction, very secluded (but trains passing 24 hours a day only a few yards away). Great place for maximum of 4 people. Centrally located for both East and West park entrance although still a fair drive away. All amenities for cooking. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts very kind and accommodating.

Highly recommend this cozy haven in the woods!!

Our family absolutely loved our stay in this wonderful carriage house! We were thankful to be in the middle of both the east and west sides of Glacier National Park so we could easily go both places. The space was super clean and very warm and inviting. Roz was always so responsive to my questions - she honestly could not have been more accommodating. One of our all-time favorite vacation rentals for sure!

Making Memories!

My wife and I so enjoyed the Carriage House! Everything we needed was provided for a wonderful five night stay. We loved the decor and the cabin feel. Tucked away off Hwy 2 in just enough woods to get that secluded feel, but still close enough to get where we wanted to go. Roz greeted us upon arrival to make sure our accommodations were just right. A true home away from home. Very nice!

Cozy Stay

Cozy place set back from a main highway/road. Directions given by host to get to the home were very helpful. There was plenty of necessities on the property (towels, kitchen utensils, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, etc). The wifi worked pretty well. The stay was about 1 hour from east glacier NP and 35 mins from west glacier. Very hospitable host, would stay here again!

Exceptionally clean and conveniently located to both west and east entrances to Glacier National Park. Master bedroom and full bath on ground level with kitchen, 1/2 bath, and living space located upstairs. Taller folks might find kitchen space somewhat uncomfortable to work in and regular rail traffic nearby are the only downsides to this fantastic home base for a great Glacier NP getaway! We’d definitely stay here again and enthusiastically recommend to others!

Cozy stargazing cabin

I cannot put into words how amazing our stay was! The cabin is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your vacation to Glacier. The bed is soooo soft, the wooden decor is beautiful, and there are plenty of board games to play while you enjoy the quiet forest. The scenery is stunning. My partner and I stargazed every night and even saw the Milky Way and so many shooting stars that we lost count. Amazing place to feel peace and solitude. We will be back!

Baker visit

My wife and I had owned and managed a vacation rental and we understand the trials of that business and we appreciate every thing they do to make our stay comfortable and worry free. And they did - our home away from home. The first day we had a problem with a flat tire and the helped us get back to our vacation with hardly any time lost. My wife loves a clean place and their rental exceeded her expectations which is very difficult for most to do. At the age of 76 we are knocking off a number of our bucket list items so we probably won’t returned to glacier again but if we did we would return here.
